About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and finished at 140cm wide, Eton FR Dove is a practical textile with a crisp, orderly check repeat of 9.5cm. The fabric reads as a pale dove-grey taupe, softened by fine beige-brown lines that form a measured grid rather than a bold plaid. Its surface has a subtle woven texture, which gives the colourway a dry, understated feel and keeps the pattern looking clean and refined. Care code NQT1< is supplied for this cloth.

How to use it

This colourway works well on tailored upholstery pieces, dining chairs or a smart banquette where its pale ground can keep a room feeling open. It also suits curtains in a neutral scheme, especially alongside oak, chalk white and muted stone finishes.

A restrained check that adds quiet structure to classic interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Eton FR Dove without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
